Chapter 457: Chapter 456: The Matter of the Dragon Vein

A group of people headed deeper into the Kunlun Great Mountain.

Peter Brown curiously looked at Tobia Armstrong and asked, "Where exactly is the Heavenly Dao Path?"

Gian Armstrong replied, "The Heavenly Path is located deep in this Kunlun Mountain."

Callen Collins sighed, "Sebastian Evans severed the Dragon Vein, which caused difficulties in the cultivation of our Hua Nation. Ah, I’m not sure how to describe this person, it’s just so hateful!"

As they walked, they discussed the matter of the Dragon Vein.

Idan Jones explained, "For the people on Earth, the Dragon Vein is actually the Spirit Vein. Ordinary people only know it as the Dragon Vein, but for cultivators, it is the Spirit Vein. In ancient times, Great Powers set up some formations when they left, gathering the spiritual energy of Heaven and Earth and using their great abilities to transform the entire Earth’s veins, thereby benefiting their descendants. That’s why there are so many Dragon Veins, and those emperors knew that they didn’t have the roots of immortal cultivation, so they tried their best to maintain their power by attaching great importance to the Dragon Veins."

Amir Harris agreed, "Yes, cultivators are actually defying the heaven, and what they defy is the imperial power. They want to steal spiritual energy from the Dragon Veins of the royal family, thus forging the path of cultivation. As more and more cultivators targeted the Dragon Veins of the royal clan, some members of the royal family thought of cutting off the Dragon Veins. Their goal was to cut off the cultivation path of the cultivators."

Peter Brown was curious, "Isn’t their argument flawed? If the royal family did such a thing, wouldn’t they also cut off their own Dragon Vein?"

Tristan Knight smiled, "Apart from using the Dragon Vein to maintain their imperial power, the royal family also has another way to achieve this, which is the Qi of Humanity. This Qi of Humanity is a mysterious thing, and it is also a kind of Heavenly Dao Energy. When the royal family builds the Imperial City, they set up the city according to feng shui and turn the Imperial City into a huge Gathering Dao Formation, gathering the Qi of Humanity, thus maintaining their imperial power."

"Gathering Dao Formation?"

Peter Brown nodded silently. This was something different from the Spiritual Gathering Array, as the Gathering Spirit Array focused on gathering spiritual energy, while the Gathering Dao Array focused on gathering the Qi of Humanity.

Thinking of this, Peter Brown said, "From what you said, Gathering Dao is about gathering people’s faith, which should be the support for imperial power. But, aren’t they afraid of people turning against them? If that were to happen, the Qi of Humanity would be lost."

"Peter is indeed a master of formations and feng shui, and you have seen the truth. Indeed, that’s the case. For those in control of the imperial power, cultivators are an even more dangerous group. The higher their cultivation, the greater the threat they pose to imperial power. Therefore, they would rather cut off the Dragon Veins than see the growth of cultivators."

It was only then that Peter Brown began to understand, and said, "In that case, it makes sense. Compared to the high-flying cultivators, mortals are easier to control."

Dillon Evans explained, "Indeed, that’s the case. Since some emperors were killed by cultivators who stormed into the Imperial Palace, their fear of cultivators deepened. So, when they mastered the Gathering Dao Formation, they secretly launched a campaign to sever the Dragon Veins. Many people thought it was some special individuals who were doing this, but in fact, it was the royal family who was secretly leading the operation."

If he hadn’t come to the Cultivation World, Peter Brown would never have known so many inside stories. Now he realized that much of the information passed down was false.

Peter Brown also became interested in the Dragon Veins of Hua Nation and asked, "What is the situation of Hua Nation’s Dragon Veins?"

This time, Tobia Armstrong explained, "Peter, actually, the Earth itself cannot generate spiritual energy. The spiritual energy on Earth comes from the Heavenly Dao. When the Heavenly Dao is unimpeded, a large amount of spiritual energy will be brought from the Heavenly Dao Path every moment. I don’t know about other places, but I know that the Kunlun Mountain is an exit of the Heavenly Dao Path. When this exit is open, the spiritual energy here is extremely rich, and many Great Powers have emerged in Kunlun Mountain."

Peter Brown nodded slightly. Kunlun Mountain was a special place in Hua Nation, and there were many legends about it from ancient times till now.

Tobia Armstrong continued, "The ancestor of Hua Nation’s Dragon Vein originated from Kunlun Mountain, which is actually the exit of the Heavenly Dao. The northwest side of Kunlun Mountain is Tianshan Mountain Range, Qilian Mountain Range, and Yinshan Mountain Range. To the north, there are the Altai Mountains, accompanied by Helan Mountain, Daxiao Xing’an Ridge, and Changbai Mountain. On the northwest and southwest sides of Kunlun Mountain, there are Tanggula Mountain, the Himalayas, and the Hengduan Mountains. The main Dragon Vein of Kunlun Mountain is nestled between these north and south mountain ranges, constantly extending its brilliant dance to the east. The main vein of the Dragon falls in Xi’an City, Shaanxi Province, and then goes east to the Central Plain, which is Henan, while its branches extend to the north, south, east, and west, forming the main structure of the Kunlun Mountain Range."

Eli Brown smiled and said, "The Dragon Veins of Hua Nation are very powerful. They originate from the Kunlun Mountain in the northwest and extend to three Dragon Veins in the southeast. The Northern Dragon enters Shanxi from the Yinshan and Helan Mountains, starting in Tayuan City and crossing the sea. The central Dragon enters Guanzhong from Minshan, and the Qin Mountain enters the sea. The Southern Dragon goes through Yunnan, Guizhou, Hunan, to Fujian and Zhejiang and finally enters the sea. Each major Dragon Vein has many branches, such as the main Dragon, subordinate Dragons, true Dragons, false Dragons, flying Dragons, hidden Dragons, and twinkling Dragons, etc. These are actually the Spirit Veins, which are fundamental to our Cultivation World. Unfortunately, once the Heavenly Dao is severed, the entire source loses its supply of spiritual energy, resulting in these Spirit Veins drying up!"

Everyone sighed at this point.

At this moment, a man in a yellow robe said, "In every dynasty, there are some self-righteous people who believe they can control people’s hearts completely, and that the people of the country will never betray them. They are convinced that their Gathering Dao Formation far surpasses the Dragon Veins and have done many things to destroy the Dragon Veins. Unfortunately, they have destroyed their dynasties one by one!"

Seeing the man’s heartache, Peter Brown glanced at Tobia Armstrong.

Tobia Armstrong introduced, "Peter, this is Arron Smith, the head of the Song Clan."

Song Clan?

Peter Brown was a little puzzled.

Tobia Armstrong explained, "The Song Clan is a sect established by the royal family of the Song Dynasty in our country. They have inherited for many years."

It was only then that Peter Brown learned that the Song Clan was a sect founded by the royal family of the Song Dynasty. Thinking of the downfall of the Song Dynasty, Peter Brown guessed that Arron Smith must have had a lot of lamentations when he said this.

As expected, Arron Smith said, "I don’t want to keep it a secret, but the reason why the Song Dynasty was so weak and was bullied by the Golden Kingdom in each dynasty was mainly because those in power believed they were always right. They thought that the Gathering Dao Formation in the Imperial City far surpassed the Dragon Veins and no longer cared about the Dragon Veins. In the beginning, they prospered, but the more prosperous the country, the more complacent they became. As a result, the capital was broken, and then moved, but the new capital could not exert the power of the Gathering Dao Formation, and the dynasty was eventually destroyed."
